motion vocbulary
Across
- 4. acceleration If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion
- 7. an amount of space between two things or people.
- 8. forces two forces acting on an object are equal in size but act in opposite directions
- 10. speed When the speed of an object remains the same - it does not increase or decrease
- 12. a course along which someone or something moves.
- 14. stationary is not moving
- 16. the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.
- 18. an influence tending to change the motion of a body or produce motion or stress in a stationary body. The magnitude of such an influence is often calculated by multiplying the mass of the body by its acceleration.
- 19. the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate.
- 21. a place where someone or something is located or has been put.
Down
- 1. the action or process of moving or being moved.
- 2. acceleration the acceleration of an object in free fall within a vacuum
- 3. not impeded by or creating friction; smooth.
- 5. the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time. Accelerations are vector quantities
- 6. The speed of something in a given direction.
- 9. forces When two forces acting on an object are not equal in sizeInertia: a property of matter that continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
- 11. the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
- 12. the moving of something from its place or position.
- 13. the universal force of attraction acting between all matter.
- 15. Laws of Motion (3): when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
- 17. a coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape.
- 20. force the force of attraction between all masses in the universe
